When everyone was seated once again at the bench, Jisung was only able to sit in silence. His other teammates were talking to Na-Eun, asking her questions in order to get to know her better but Jisung couldn't do anything. He was tongue tied for the first time ever. Usually, it would be him who will be very excited about newcomers. Take Seungmin and Jeongin when they first joined, he wouldn't stop pestering them everyday for practice.

However, he had just made a total fool of himself. What 'hi, I think I just fall for you'? He thought, hitting his head for being such a clutz. He lifted his head when he heard a soft chuckle. He blinked his eyes in confusion when Na-Eun chuckled at him. She tilted her head, hair falling off her shoulder and Jisung's eyes slowly following her subtle movement. "Jisung must be a quiet person" She said, smiling and her eyes turning into a crescent while a dimple appeared on her cheeks.

Jisung rubbed his nape and nodded slowly when his friend cut him off.

"Jisung? Quiet? Not in another million years" He looked up and glared at Jeongin who quickly hid behind Seungmin. "I'm not usually quiet. I'm just tired" He lied.

Felix scoffed. "Right, tired. You must be with Hyunjin again"

Na-Eun who was new to this entire situation just looked at them talking in confusion until they realized she was a newcomer. " ah, Hyunjin is Jisung's best friend. He's a swimmer. So, Jisung is always with him at the pool"

"Like the saying 'wherever Hyunjin is, Jisung will be there and wherever Jisung is, Hyunjin will be there" Felix cheekily said, swinging his hand and popping out a thumbs up.

Jisung took off his shoes and threw it at Felix. "There's no such saying, you idiot"

Na-Eun laughed again and Jisung could feel his heart thumping crazily. He didn't believe in love at fist sight but it happened.

Felix pouted, picking up Jisung's shoes and throwing it into the balls basket. Jisung stood up and chased after Felix who readily ran away while laughing but he stopped midway when he remembered Na-Eun's presence.

He sat down after taking his shoes like an obedient child before asking, "Is that a camera?" She looked down at the camera hanging around her neck and nodded, pointing at it. "I'm a photography major after all"

Jisung hummed, "no wonder."

She tilted her head in confusion again before Jisung continued. "No wonder I can picture us together" Before Na-Eun could give him a reply, he felt a strong grip on his shoulder and hesitantly looked up.

His coach was smiling threateningly, holding his shoulder with so much force. "Shouldn't you guys practice for the game tomorrow?"

Jisung didn't know what was wrong with coach Lee today but he gladly nodded. A practice? He would never skip. Not when he was given a chance to redeem what he did to that Yedam kid at YG.

As he walked to to the middlenof the court, Felix tapped his shoulder. He shrugged him off harshly, sending a glare at him. "What?"

"Why did you do that?"

A frown distorted on Jisung's face. "Do what?"

"Flirt with the coach's niece? Duh?" Felix said with widened eyes to emphasized what he just did. Jisung froze. "She's that crazy coach's niece? Where...they don't look alike at all"

"What are you two idiots doing chatting idly there?! Get in your position!" Jisung nodded and ran towards his position.

When the practice started, Jisung easily stole the ball from his opponent and shoot a goal. He stuck his tongue out at Felix before turning around and pushing his hair back while staring at Na-Eun who just clapped at his victory before a ball flew towards his head.

"Who-" he was about to yell when he saw Woojin's annoyed face.  "If you're done flirting, get into position"

He bowed and immediately went back into the game.

The game ended with 4 points behind and Jisung's practice team won. He smiled cheekily and hugged Felix. "Who's the loser now?" Felix groaned and pushed the shooting guard before throwing a towel on his face.

"What about you go and flirt with Na-Eun instead" Jisung rubbed his nose and nodded. "I will but I'm sweaty now. I will go take a shower first" Jisung said, running out from the court after waving at Na-Eun who shyly waved back at him.

After Jisung dropped Hyunjin off, the taller had been lying on the couch for a long time, watching the sport channel. If there wasn't any game that picked his interest, he would play an old relay on his CD player.

He would observe his form when he swam or how his teammates swam. He was a total geek when it come to swimming. He wasn't interested in swimming until he was in middle school when Jisung started playing basketball. He figured running around and getting sweaty was not his thing. He could have easily joined the basketball team but he chose to do something more refreshing. So, he thought why not swimming?

Oh, how glad he was to have chosen this sport.

Despite not doing the same sport, him and Jisung had always supported each other.

He was so focused on the TV that he didn't notice his door being unlocked and a sweaty basketball player had entered his room.

"Uff" He said when he Jisung threw himself on Hyunjin. The shorter snuggled closer to him, hiding his face on Hyunjin's shoulder as he breathed in Hyunjin's lavender like scent. "Get off me! You're sweaty!"

"I don't want to" Jisung laughed, snuggling closer to Hyunjin which left Hyunjin with no choice but to give himself in. "Can I borrow your shower?"

"Have you even ever ask me?" Jisung shook his head. What belonged to Hyunjin easily belonged to him too. He finally got off Hyunjin and ran into the bathroom, singing as he shower.

"I'm done! You can go shower now!" Jisung yelled from the bedroom and walked out to see Hyunjin plugging in and off the TV's cable. "What are you doing?"

"The TV won't work" Jisung went beside the TV and stared at Hyunjin with a blank look. "What are you trying to do?" He asked suspiciously when Jisung suddenly raised his hand to the air, Hyunjin's eyes widened as he tried to reach Jisung's hand but was too late when Jisung dropped his hand and slapped the TV.

"Do you think this is some old TV?! What if you brok-" Hyunjin almost immediately shut up when the black screen disappeared, replaced with the previous swim relay.

"You were saying?" Jisung asked, holding his arm in victory.

Hyunjin shook his head and went into his room to take a shower. "Hey, I can stay over tonight, right?!"

"Like I said, have you even ever ask me?"
